Yeah, and our D would be in trouble if they still had Cannonball Butler at RB.

We are careful but have traveled quite a but this year despite Covid. C19 logistics can be a pia but just requires more planning. Less crowds at tourist spots are nice. We are in France now for 2 weeks and this is our second time in 2021. Also visited Portugal and went to Hawaii this year. Kauai is our fave in Hawaii for sightseeing, beaches, and hiking. We are not cruise people. My wife can speak several languages so travel anywhere is fine. US: PCH highway trip. Book a couple nights at Deetjen’s in Big Sur. Chincoteague, VA: Small, cozy beach town whose beach, Assateague Island, is a park so no development (e.g., boardwalk, hotels). Avoid during the annual pony swim weekend.

Regarding Tesla batteries The new 4680 battery technology will not use cobalt (very expensive & child labor concerns in countries where mined). https://www.torquenews.com/15553/elon-musk-said-tesla-can-already-do-without-cobalt-its-batteries-and-it-true “…new design is 56 percent cheaper to produce and needs about half the real estate to generate the same power as a 74-kWh Model Y battery pack. Tesla says this will be the first million-mile battery, and estimates that it will retain 90 percent of its life after 4,000 charge/discharge cycles.“ This should result in cost reduction for EVs though that remains to be determined.

The cost to charge at home depends on your electric provider’s rates. Tesla provides a 20’ 110 V/15 amp connector (cannot use extension cords). That would be a Level 1 connection and provides ~5mi/hr. Businesses will usually supply Level 2 chargers (~25mi/hr). You can install a Level 2 charger in your garage for ~$600-$1k. I am fortunate to have 2 free Level 2 chargers within reasonable distance of our house. I will drive there, hook up, and walk home. Return 3-4 hrs later and drive home with another 100 miles. Repeat whenever necessary. I am not paying any $ for miles except for Supercharger stops on long trips. This convenience factored into my EV purchase.

Some Tesla owners still have the free supercharge option but the last time I recall that perk was offered was 3-4 yrs ago. A credit card is kept in your account for Supercharger billing. The cost depends on supercharger connection time. It equates to a combustion engine gas fill up. If vehicle has low fuel/battery you may choose to fill/charge to full. But it also depends on how much distance you still need to travel. For example, if you had 30 miles left on battery and were 100 miles from home, you may just wait for 100 miles to be added to battery before departing the supercharger because you will re-charge when you get home. You can disconnect at any time. I have found the charge cost to be ~2/3 of what the fuel cost would be for the same distance.

Interesting, I moved away quite a while ago and now live in VA and your first three items are what I am considering in snagging a summer place in WNY. Taxes are the biggest factor in returning. Their C19 response does not hit my top 10 in opposition factors.

The song was nowhere near as creepy as the artist. https://whatacreeppodcast.libsyn.com/what-a-creep-gary-glitter-season-4-episode-9

Mods - Can you remove this fella or block temporarily? I know this is an open forum but this is detracting from the enjoyment of a Bills fans gathering place…it is becoming distracting. I have not blocked anyone yet but it seems like I will use that feature. There have been fans of other teams on here that contribute good, but limited, posts. Others, like @Jimmy Spagnola are enjoyable. However, this is a PIA.

Sheesh…The very first sentence in Chris Brown’s article is incorrect.

Can the Mannings add SNF?

McD to team before reporters enter practice: “Milano put on a red jersey; Star, begin barfing in a bucket; and Jon, walk with a limp sometimes”. McD can play 4D chess, too.

Donated.

It’s hysterical if you have an EV.

…and the Titans are the least healthy.

Find another leaf.

But 9 by JA.

Lots of Bills fans with tix on our flight from Dulles to BUF. I saw 1 Steeler fan.

For Andrews it may be hypoglycemia rather than injury.

Where are these self heated club seats? I am a current club seat holder and heat for my seats comes from above.

I fly quite a bit to games from RIC & return Sun evening for work & availability on Mon. There are no direct flights to RIC from BUF but have been taking the last United (~7:45 pm) flight which they have operated for quite awhile. It works perfectly. I relax after the game and leave about 6:30-6:45. By this time traffic has cleared so 25 min trip. I have TSA pre-check so quick thru security. It is one of the last flights departing BUF so lines usually fine even if no TSA pre-check. Usually make a connection through IAD or EWR and arrive in RIC by 11. This late connection through a hub works well for arriving at other US cities on Sun evening. I just did a quick check for Sun, Sep 12 for BUF-ATL on United and depart BUF 7:45 pm and arrive ATL 11:55 pm. I have no financial association with United but I am a preferred traveler on their airline from other business related travel and use them quite frequently. Bottom line: this approach has worked well for a stress-free result in catching a Sunday night flight after a 1:00 game.

I have driven my car several times from central VA to WNY over the last 6 months including twice in the last month and have always found empty slots at different superchargers along the way. I usually charge with enough miles so if that supercharger was disabled (like you point out) I could make it to another. The recently added notification when suoercharging that an idle fee will be charged after completion will assist in keeping charging slots available.

This has been discussed previously in other threads but the Bills already include PSLs in their club seats. Certainly, it would be higher with a new stadium but this has been happening for a while.

Yes, that’s true. But blood sugar for a healthy, non-diabetic will return to normal value two hours after a meal. If you have diabetes, your body doesn’t make insulin (type 1 diabetes) or doesn’t respond to it normally (type 2 diabetes). That can leave your blood sugar too high for too long. Over time, that can damage nerves and blood vessels and lead to heart disease and other problems. You can pick up a glucometer and some test strips and document your blood sugars at various times after a meal to determine when/if it returns to normal and discuss these values with your physician. An endocrinologist is typically more familiar with diabetes than a GP.

I do not understand this at all. This makes absolutely no sense. I am interested in any reputable clinical studies supporting this. Extremely high blood sugars over a significant range of time will lead to weight loss but there are far more healthier ways to accomplish this. If metformin is resulting in side effects, perhaps you can discuss using an SGLT2 inhibitor like Jardiance with your doctor. The link below summarizes various clinical study results pertaining to Jardiance such as promoting weight loss and offering renal and cardiac protection. I have no association with Lilly who manufactures Jardiance. https://www.goodrx.com/blog/surprising-benefits-of-jardiance-the-type-2-diabetes-drug/
